Backwards K Pod; The House That Ruth Built

Backwards K Pod Where We Collect Ballplayers And Their Stories Since the time of it's opening, over 100 years ago, Yankees Stadium housed the most prolific team in American team sports, and some of the baseball universe's brightest stars. The Yankees did not have an auspicious beginning to their franchise. They were nicknamed the Highlanders and from 1903-1915, they never won a World Series and they had losing seasons in 8 out of 13 years. All that changes, when the rebranded Yankees, buy Babe Ruth from the Red Sox in 1919. They are sharing the Polo Grounds with their landlord New York Giants, and with the star power of Ruth, they routinely outdraw their inter-city rivals in their own crib. Yankees owner Jacob Rupert, after being evicted from the Polo Grounds, realizes that his new franchise and star slugger needs a stadium of his own. After scouting areas around New York City, Rupert decides to build his cathedral in the Bronx, just a long fly ball over the Harlem River from the Polo Grounds. After Babe hits the first home-run in Yankees Stadium history in a 4-1 win over the Red Sox, sports writer Fred Lieb dubbed the new structure, The House That Ruth Built; a moniker that would last throughout it's 85 year history. This week we chronicle the construction, history, moments and all the legendary players who called the stadium home, and the indelible mark they left behind on the game of baseball.
